Fayetteville Observer: The river
aud haLor hill passed 10y the last con.
gress contained AN appropriation vf
$4,000 for Mingo creek, South Car
Dina, but the money cannot be used,
because vigilant inquiry and search
fail to find the creek. The appropri-
alton was constitutional" of course
If the same amount of money had
been voted to educate the poor chill

Tennessee, "divested of federal SUI
pervision," The children would have
been found, hut the constitution
would have been "husted from eend

B. 81 O'S DIRECTORS.
Mr. Burns Explains the Plan for Fund
ing the Debt.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 14-The regular
monthly meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Compa-
ny was sheld to-day at the company'S office.
William f. Burns presided. Mr.. Burns
stated that temporary arrangement for
S30O0,000 had been made, as author
lied by the board at its last
meeting, so that negotiations were
still in progress for the permanent funding
of the debt, and that when these were suffi-
ciently advanced the whole matter would
be submitted to the Finance Committee,
and by that committee it would be COM
mitted to the board for its action. AS stated
heretofore the negotiations contemplate that
syndicate shall buy $1,000, 600 of the Con-
solidated main line mortgage bonds, aud
$1,000, 900 of preferred stock, that the entire
issue of the Consolidated main line mortgage
bonds would be S2S,000, 900 and with the eX
ception of $4,000, ,000 which,will be taken by
the syndicate, the remainder will be used
for retiring at maturity the existing
main line mortgage, and for sinking fund
purposes, thus saving to the company the
annual cash appropriations now required
for the sinking fund Mr.. Burns stated
that the syndicate was not in the interest of
any other corporation and that the manage
meut of the Baltimore and Ohio company
would be aS free as ever from the domina-
tion of any rival interest. Mr.. Burns called
the attention Of the board to the fact that
the earnings of the company for August
were S2,0S4 900, the largest earnings of
any month i'll the company's history, and
that unless something unforeseen occurred
the earnings for September would be greater
than those for the month of August.
